    Promising review:"This is my second time buying this. I continue to be amazed by all the things this gets out of clothes! My husband somehow manages to get stains on every single pair of pants he wears. But no stains are a match for this stuff! Also I have a 9-month-old and I spray this on all her clothes and no more food stains or those mysterious gray stains she used to get on all the collars of her onesies. Don’t waste your time getting one bottle, get the two-pack!" —Bekah & Tim

    Promising review: "So I was in a car wreck on the third of June 2024 and in the first picture [above] you can see a lot of the markings that are on my face. I just got this concealer in the mail today and not a moment too soon because I have an important Zoom meeting. You want to talk about coverage!!!! Now purple is a really hard color to cover, but this product did it and I took a picture [above] just to show how well! I am super impressed. Plus, the price point is amazing and it's just as effective as any high-end product. It went on silky smooth! Thank you E.l.f. cosmetics, you saved me!" —Jessica

    3. A pair of reusableNippies silicone pastiesso you can wear that cute (and sexy) backless dress without any straps ruining the fit. Reviewers say these look seamless and stay *put* no matter how much moving or sweating you're doing (likely both if you're at the club) — which is really all we want from our pasties. Plus, it's about to geta lotcolder and these are a great option if you don't want people seeing your nips through your shirt.

    BuzzFeed Shopping EditorNatalie Brownhas tried these and says: "Thanks to a ~sample sale~, I got my hands on a gorgeous unlined silk dress last summer that I LOVED but absolutely couldnotwear with a bra, not even a strapless one. Queue an Amazon search for pasties, because quite frankly I'm self-conscious about my nipples deciding to poke out while I'm wearing just a silk dress (and my boobs are the type that don't necessarily need support all of the time). There I found something even better than I expected: these self-adhesive silicone pasties called Nippies that are100% invisible under clothes, so comfortable I barely notice I'm wearing them, and, at least so far, pretty darn reusable.

    I've worn them four or five times now, washing with hand soap and water afterward every time as directed, and they're exactly what I needed! It's simple:you stick 'em onto clean, dry, lotion-free skin, and they stay put and comfy for hours, even through moderate sweat.They've performed perfectly every time I've worn them: for day-long shopping excursions, outdoor parties, and for nights out dancing. They come in a small reusable storage box with two stiff plastic domes for them to sit on, so they'll stay perfectly intact and dust-free in your drawer and are easy to pack for travel. Oh and over 14,000 reviewers — like, five times the number of people in my high school graduating class — have rated them 5-stars on Amazon, so I know I'm not alone in my success with them!"

    Get a set from Amazon for$26.50+ (available in five shades, a lifting option, and two sizes: one that fits cups A–C and one that fits cups D+).

    4. And abreathable, sweat-proof boob tape kitthat includes satin petals for your nipples and a pair of silicone pasties to make wearing strappy dresses or tops with cutouts *much* easier. It also includes a nifty pouch you can keep in the bag you bring to your friend's place to get ready!

    It even includes a test patch, so you can make sure the tape doesn't irritate your skin before wearing it. The tape is designed with a strong hold, so removal will absolute require saturating the tape in oil before slowly and gently peeling it off!

    Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. I bought this gorgeous backless wedding dress with a plunging neckline and didn't think about how to make sure my boobs were covered and secure. The fabric was also pretty sheer. I took the dress to a seamstress who sewed pads in and did an awful job. The pads looked lumpy, they were too far down, and one was an inch lower than the other. In a panic with only a week before the wedding, I took to Amazon and landed on this tape. Y'all... This stuff is awesome. I applied it with no practice literally five minutes before my ceremony. Even with no idea of how to apply or what I was doing, I managed to secure my boobs AND they looked amazing. I'm a D cup and didn't expect much lift, but there was lift, coverage, and just enough cleavage. It stayed on during 90 degree weather and was easily removed after a quick soak in the bathtub and a little coconut oil. I will definitely use this stuff again. I feel like this tape has opened up new wardrobe possibilities for me. If you're on the fence, just get it. Saved my wedding." —MelBee

    Get it from Amazon for$8.99.

    5. AnLED light therapy maskwhich uses blue light to help target mild to moderate acne, scarring, and prevent further breakouts. Italsohas a red light mode that helps repair skin damage, smooth wrinkles, and boost collagen production. Skincare science has come quite far!

    Read more about these masks at the American Academy of Dermatology.

    Promising review: "This is the best thing I've ever done for my acne-prone skin. I put off purchasing a light system like this for years because of the cost. My hormonal acne got to the point where I was always having a break out, so I finally tried this. After just one session I could see a noticeable difference. A week of daily treatment and my acne is healing. This was all I was hoping for, just incredible. I also would recommend a Manuka oil for acne breakouts, and of course a good serum, etc. The only other thing I've done that is great is microneedling. If I had to pick one tool to invest in though, this would be it." —amy dowell

    Get it from Amazon for$150.89.

    6. A descaling solutionfor cleaning out your coffee maker and getting rid of all that limescale and mineral buildup. I'll bet good money that your coffee tastes better after using this.

    This solution works with Keurig, Nespresso, Delonghi, Hamilton Beach, Braun, Bunn, Cuisinart, Tassimo, Krups, Saeco, and other brewing machines!

    Promising review: "I had never even thought of descaling my 2-year-old Keurig before Amazon suggested it, but this stuff was cheap, I knew I was supposed to descale regularly, and I knew this kind of descaler wouldn't be as hard to rinse out as the smell of vinegar.I honestly wasn't expecting much, but the next morning it took much less time for the water to heat up and my coffee tasted twice as strong and rich as it did before descaling, which means the brewing temperature is higher now that the heating element isn't caked with mineral deposits. Now I feel a little silly for drinking mediocre coffee for so long." —Lenore

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99(available in two sizes and in a two-pack).

    7. A pack of dual-sided SneakErasersso your staple white sneakers can *stay* white. Start with the white side to remove any marks or scuffs, then finish with the orange side to get that polished look.

    Promising review: "I have a couple of pairs of sneakers I stopped wearing because they started looking a bit grungy. Just couldn't justify throwing them away though, because they were still in great shape and not very old. I came across these sponges and took a chance. They work like a charm. I cleaned two pairs of shoes and could not believe the results! Awesome. " —Spencer

    Promising review: "I'm in my mid-30s and realized it was time to step up my skincare game. I always looked younger than my age, but recently that's worn off a bit and makeup remover wipes and argan oil at night weren't cutting it. I happened across this trio and, for the price, thought I'd give it a try. My skin feels AMAZING!!! This trio is worth every penny. I don't even feel like I have to wear makeup all the time anymore and when I do, it goes on so much smoother. This is definitely going to be part of my routine for years to come!" —Caitlin

    Promising review: "Best. Thing. Ever. This product works like a charm. It gets the sand from between their pads and is gentle enough that even my most stubborn pup tolerates it! I have a terrier/Schnauzer who likes to dig, a mini Goldendoodle who is prissy about her paws, and a standard Labradoodle puppy who is still very fuzzy. We have a farm where it's extremely sandy and we stay in a travel trailer. The amount of sand they were tracking into the camper was ridiculous. Now it takes me three minutes to clean and dry off all of their paws. Seriously the best purchase I have made!" —Rachel

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99+(available in three sizes, with or without a lid, and in eight colors).

I am on the younger side and don’t have the worst under-eye bags, but on those occasional mornings when my eyes are puffy with somewhat visible dark circles, this product definitely does the trick! Honestly love all the Good Molecules products." —Hayden Smith

    "Saw this onTikTokand decided to give it a try since the price was amazing. OMG, buy it. I’ve always had dark circles under my eyes and now fine lines and crow's-feet. While this doesn’t completely eliminate my dark circles, the fine lines are really diminished. It wears extremely well under makeup and doesn’t feel cakey or like there’s a ton of product on." —K. Grant

    Because of the color-balancing, one of the two shade options is designed to work with any skin tone. So, the pink would be best for fairer skin and the orange-ish hue would work for deeper skin tones.

    Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across aTikTokpromoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." —Placeholder

While some may think that saving their money and dealing with a tight closet is worth it, I am completely sold on making the change. So happy I pulled the trigger. I've purchased 100 more just now so that I can do the same for my boyfriend's closet." —ChristineSD

    Promising review: "These tongue cleaners are definitely stainless steel! You can tell how great the quality is just by holding it in your hand. I use this on my tongue, and I’ve noticed anincredibledifference. My tongue feels clean, and the gunk is gone. It sort of grips the tongue which helps grab any left over debris. Be sure to use it over the sink as the debris and saliva will definitely slide off your tongue. To clean, simply rinse with warm water and allow it to air dry! I deal with a lot of dry mouth, especially since I use a CPAP machine to sleep at night. This tool isincredibleat getting that bad bacteria off the tongue that shows a white cast and also creates sulfur compounds which makes your breath stink!!" —GreyElt

    @trulybeauty / Via www.instagram.com, Truly Beauty

    Promising review: "I was super skeptical of all these pretty beauty products when they popped up on my FYP, but I figured I'd give a few a try and BOY am I glad that I did. The polish smells amazing, and it's such a nice little way to indulge in some self care in the morning before work, after a long day, or whenever you need. The texture of the polish is super smooth, and the color is really pretty. I don't use it every day, but when I use it more often I definitely notice a difference. My skin is softer, boobs are perkier, and honestly the 'tightening' and 'perking' effect does kind of make them look bigger. They're certainly looking and feeling their best! Would absolutely buy again. I just ordered my second jar because I was running out!" —Melissa R.

    Get it from Truly Beautyfor $32 or Ultafor $24 or fromAmazonfor $23.99.

    16. Apiercing bump solutionfor those annoying keloids and bumps that show up on piercings (especiallynose rings omg). It helps reduce their appearance and offers some relief until you can get to a doctor.

    Of course, this is not an overnight magic product. You should apply this 2–3 times a day and eventually, you may start to see results!

    Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids fromCleveland Clinic.

    BuzzFeed Shopping contributorJordan Grigsby has used this and here's what she has to say: "Oh! BTW, I bought this. Last year I got a dermal piercing on my chest and since literally just about every piercing I've ever gotten has grown a keloid on it, I should have known my dermal would eventually, too. I got the piercing in February of 2023 and around May I noticed a nasty, stubborn little bump making a guest appearance on my piercing. 🙄 I had written about this stuff a few times so the light bulb went off and I immediately bought it. I consistently used it twice a day and it gradually disappeared, literally like magic within a month. Keloids are a serious nightmare and I'm so glad that I found this stuff. I even *accidentally* ripped it out in November and immediately grabbed this to prevent a keloid from forming cuz I just knew it'd get infected. To my surprise, no keloid, nada. This stuff always gets rid of keloids for me, it's such a life saver. You do have to be patient and consistent, this is NOT an overnight miracle but it's worth it. I also suggest that you continue to use it for like another week or two even after your keloid goes away juuust in case it tries to sneak back into your life."

    Get it from Amazon for $12.85+(also available in multipacks).

    Promising review: "I recently saw a dermatologist talk about those clogged pores on and around your nose. If they are of uniform size, they aren't blackheads. She suggested using a sulfur soap to get rid of or minimize those stubborn clogged pores. This has a slight sulfur smell, it is not overwhelming and it disappears when dried. It works! My pores are much smaller. After applying and drying, moisturize." —Sandy G

    Promising review: "Where has this been all my cat-loving life? Sticky rollers work fine for clothes, but this is the only product that has ever COMPLETELY removed all the cat hair from my bed. I have a long-haired, 20-pound tabby, and if you run your hands up his back a few times and fling the hair everywhere, it looks like it's snowing — he never stops shedding no matter what I do. After using the ChomChom, I can put on a black dress and roll around on my bed and not get a single hair on me. It's absolutely amazing. Everyone is getting one for Christmas, even if they don't have a pet. I don't care; it's THAT good." —DH

    ChomChom Roller is a small business based in Massachusetts known for its eco-friendly and reusable alternative to stick lint rollers.

    Promising review: "I bought this for the first time a few years ago to replace the body lotion I had previously used for years and years. While more expensive, I was willing to try Bum Bum cream based on the previous reviews. And it has not disappointed! Not too thick. Not sticky. And the smell is amazing. I get told many times a week how good I smell." —Libby Solomon

    Promising review: "I am very fair-skinned and bruise easily (doesn't help that I also tend to be very clumsy). I recently got a very large, dark bruise on my arm, and a friend at work whose son is a stunt man told me I should use Arnica on it. Based on the reviews, I ordered this product and started using it approximately four days after I was bruised. At first, it didn't seem like anything was happening, but after three to four days of use, I could see a marked difference just from morning to evening. I have never had a bruise heal that quickly before. I'm sold!" —J. Yount

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99(available in two styles and in two-packs).

    27. A clear nail polishwith a bitter taste to stop you from biting your nails or any other habitual behaviors that have you putting your hands in your mouth. Reviewers say it tastesterriblebut works great (especially for kids).Just remember you have this stuff on before licking any frosting off your fingers!

    Use it quickly because it expires in 24 months!

    Promising review: "So, I bought this is the hopes of being left famished and never placing my hands in my mouth again. AND IT WORKED! I put the polish around my nails AND skin hoping for it to not harden like regular clear polish and to my surprise it was not uncomfortable and dried EXTREMELY fast. Now THE TASTE!!! is HORRIBLE LOL, it tastes like somebody mixed alcohol and Windex in a bottle and sprayed it in my mouth. It's not the kind of taste you could ever get used to, unless you're used to spaying perfume into your mouth on accident. Water is not enough to get rid of the taste, I would recommend brushing your tongue and lips to fully get rid of the taste because IT'S THAT STRONG! BUY IT!!!!" —Carla

    Get it from Amazon for $12.47.

    28. A 20-pack of multi-surface eraser spongesfor a quick and easy way to get rid of any and all messes. Whether it's from kids drawing on the walls or month-old grease stains on the stove, these sponges always seem to do the trick! And if you don't believe me, maybe you'll believe thethousandsof 5-star reviews 👀.

    Promising review: "Got kids or a messy spouse? You need these! I go through a lot of Mr. Clean erasers, so much that it was easier to cut them in half first because the centers are always the first to go. Then when I found this magnificent pack, I had to try it and I'm glad I did. They are smaller and fit my hand better but also thicker. They seem to work better with less effort which is awesome! Worked great on a Crystal Light counter stain, a bathroom rust ring, a drain circle, and scuff marks on sinks, crayons on walls, Sharpie on binder, a ring around the door knob from greasy mechanic hands on my new unpainted white door, and even the spot high up on the wall next to the toilet where one would lean his hand because it might get out of control if he doesn't have that extra stability? Anyway you get the point; they are awesome." —Sherry

    Get 20 sponges from Amazon for $13.95.
